Lovely footage.    That's quite a large outdoor music festival venue.

Thanks for your kind words.

I've noticed that the Mavic 3 (used for this drone footage) attracts attention from birds, I had a killdeer flying over me for quite a while, even after the drone was shut down. Probably drawn to the prop frequency.

Thanks! It's a nice venue in the mountains, we've seen seven bands (the four listed above plus Kansas, Pure Prarie League and Firefall) perform there and were paid to be there for four, so that's kinda cool.

Lovely footage.    That's quite a large outdoor music festival venue.

Thanks! It's in the mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, with enough elevation that it's a bit cooler than most of the surrounding area. One mountain to the west starts shading the venue about 20 minutes before sunset, so it's not been terrible (even in July, which was HOT).

When we were attending the Firefall concert - not flying or shooting, just sitting in lawn chairs and drinking LOL - we spotted a couple of shooting stars. After all, a meteorite is also fire falling, so that was rather appropriate!

You're very welcome.  What a coincidence for those shooting stars to make their presence known during the Firefall concert.

Seems to happen to all the models,    Ive been experimenting with some red tape which seemed to help increase the distance the birds get.

I noticed that birds didn't care much when I flew the Phantom 4, but definitely were drawn to the Mini 2, and now the Mavic. Seems to me like the Phantom had a deeper noise from the props, maybe the other drones are sounding more like insects to the birds?

Let me know how your experiments play out!

I always assumed the Phantom's were less prone due to their size and less of a bird like shape.
